Shall We Play a Game?

[rapunzel]

Okay, Watercourse Way's recent Porky's reference reminded me of a game I used to play at this really boring job...the Great Quote game.

The rules are simple...one person throws out a movie quote that is somewhat topical, and the next person names the movie, and then adds their own quote. Ideally, the quotes should at least be tangentially connected. Same movie, same actor in a different movie, or same train of thought.

The prize? Well, back in the day the prize was just the momentary alleviation of boredom, but I suggest rep be awarded for particularly great but obscure quotes.

To start....the title of this thread.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)


Ladies and gentlemen, you are such a wonderful crowd, we'd like to play a little tune for you. It's one of my personal favorites and I'd like to dedicate it to a young man who doesn't think he's seen anything good today - Cameron Frye, this one's for you.

Excellent!

Also Wargames.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I can't come to the door right now. I'm afraid that in my weakened condition, I could take a nasty spill down the stairs and subject myself to further school absences."

HA! Ferris Beuller's Day Off...

Excellent...

Try this...

"Your work is ingenious. It's quality work. And there are simply too many notes, that's all. Just cut a few and it will be perfect."

School absences...

Bueller?... Bueller?... Bueller?

"The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and..."

Amadeus (1984)

My dear young man, don't take it too hard. Your work is ingenious. It's quality work. And there are simply too many notes, that's all. Just cut a few and it will be perfect.

HA! Ferris Beuller's Day Off...

Excellent...

And "You know, several, you know, dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not really widely reported. "

Office Space:

Ah! Yeah. It's just we're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now. So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that'd be great. All right!
